I have a 1.5 Ghz aluminum PB G4 12" which I use for general web stuff, schoolwork, and programming. Recently I've been working on a realtime graphics app for a large school project. When the app runs it takes the CPU to full usage and thus raises the temperature of the machine quite a bit. After running for a while the CPU can get up to 130-140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is this bad for the powerbook? I realize playing games and doing video editing and other high CPU tasks are common and probably do the same thing, but those seem like excessive temperatures for a such a small box.
What do you guys think?
